[QUOTE="AlexT, post: 759218, member: 112947"] Morning. Quite right on the "renders better" clarification. Apologies, as I was leaving the screenshots to do the talking but should have included my personal views on that. [LIST] [*]Text is larger. [*]Text edges appear more defined. [*]Text is brighter. [/LIST] The last two I liken to the first; ie, larger text. But...larger text almost implies stretched-out or expanded, which will often cause less clarity; ie, blurring or dull fill region, less defined edges. In this case, I do not see that, the edges of font's remain well-defined, the fill area of the font (main portion) is not dulled or blurred. So in my own personal terms, "renders better." I realize a screenshot of what "appears on my tv" is not a true screenshot, as it is taken a grab of the desktop that is served to my TV and the only way I could possibly attempt to represent what I see on my TV is a digital cam shot. It does make a real difference on a CRT TV, using the Default Wide, and for the better. Even when using a screen resolution of 800x600, instead of 1024x768, the Default Wide renders better for me. Thanks for pointing out that clarification was needed, appreciate it. TLD, thanks for the suggestion. Would you believe that after I made the post, I did just that. lol So addictive, tweaking for the maximum MP experience. I did like how it rendered, such an incredible design...and the font sizes, great! I will be open and say that the only reason I uninstalled was I deal primarily with two things in MP: Video Shares & watching TV. I only have HD via ATSC for four channels, the rest are analog cable at present, and a big "unfortunately" to that.
